PNW role call

I am not sure if this section has one, but I went as far back as 2013 threads and didn't see any, so I'm making a fresh one.

Lets see how many 240's are remaining in the PNW.

Redmond area right here.

I'm too old for that. I'm from a different time.
The Golden Gardens and RootBeer XXX meets were good, now its turned into the NissanFest hoonibro circle jerks.

If you're looking for a weekly meetup, I've heard the Dick's Burgers in Edmonds on Friday nights are ok.

I hear you with being from a different time.

I'm NOT into the 'hoonigan', Stance, tucked, mad-camber, drift missile and what other madness these younglings are into.....lol

I was just wondering if you knew of a place where true car enthusiasts chill.

The Edmonds place was kind of cool because different cars would show up, but I thought it shut down after the grocery store closed down and the parking lot was blocked off.

It's a Winco now. I was there a few weeks ago and it was packed. 8pm is a good time to show up.

As for the meets with the real OGs? I haven't a clue. Most of that shit is organized through social media. I don't have any online persona besides a few forums.

I haven't been there in months, but I might start going again seeing that the cold didn't stop people from showing up. I kind of respect that.

I miss golden gardens a lot.

Nissanfest isn't worth my time.

Everything pretty much died with NWN. We still have our weekly meet down in Oregon, but no one really has a 240 any more except for me.

Wud up griego?

I was trying to organize a B15 (sentra) cruise down to OR with some Canada peeps, but they couldn't make it and the idea died. But I would like to have something similar with the S14 peeps. We could possible meet some where in the middle at a park or something and jus chill.
One could dream right? lol

What ever happened to that site? It crashed HARD!!!

I have never been to GG and it seems as if I missed the good times.

Too old for meets with random kids. Weekends are consumed with autox now, anyway.

You'd get almost zero interest from people down here, I think.

I think I'll stop calling it a meet and try to organize a 'true enthusiast gathering'....lol

When I moved here, I was surprised that all of the good cars were hidden, but when I went to a few meets, I could see why because most of the people there can't hold an intelligent conversation. It's either that or all you hear is v-tec this or vvl that.

I'm typically the older one there and when I go with my Boosted Sentra, I yell out 'Torque is king' to piss off the v-tec fan boys and remind them the engine has more torque than their boosted B series, when it was STOCK....lol

Yes, I'm the 'Ole Grumpy Guy'.....lol

The old days of NWN meets trended more towards that. Like-minded folks tend to gravitate towards one another at those sorts of bigger gatherings.

That's basically long gone though, now.

Well I guess that's almost to be expected and you can see it on here sometimes in terms what is liked and what is not.

Honestly, I'm just trying to see how many enthusiasts there are on here and meet some of them like the 'good ole days'.
I see that the cali threads are always jumping with something happening and I'm wondering why the same can't be said for the North.

I'm in Bothell/Mill Creek area.

Friday / Saturday nights at Henry's Donuts in Mukilteo, people start showing up around 9-10pm, that's always an alternative to Dick's in Edmond's for the northern Seattle guys. I live about 10 minutes from there but don't really show up... Dark parking lot and rain isn't the best conditions for photography.

I try to let people know about events, but mostly through Instagram and Facebook where all the eyes are. I periodically check Zilvia because it's still a good resource people randomly find.

There's a dude that started the instagram @pnwcars - he strictly promotes local events in the PNW. I send him event info once in a while but he's spot on for keeping everyone informed.

The GF and I often go down to Alki Beach in Seattle on sunny weekends to do street photography, if we spot a nice car we'll snap photos. But either than that, we try to keep low key and avoid violating city/permit codes *cough coNWNugh*

True. Every now and again I see a few WA peeps in other threads.
I wonder why they avoid this section like the plague?

NWN used to exist, so there was almost no reason for this subforum.

It's always been dead.

I believe that it still exists, but it's a ghost town on that site. When I joined things were winding down and by the time I got my S14, it would have maybe 4 posts all day.

I used to enjoy following the builds on there though.

Most likely the Couve,Vantucky,Vancouver (whatever slang you want to call it). I initially wanted to move to the Mukilteo area, but my fiance's trying to transfer her license to work. However, it only applies to the state of Oregon. So Vancouver would make most sense for me without having to deal with Oregon's emissions testing.

There's no way I"m giving it up unless I can swap everything to a newish shell. I'll just find work in Vancouver. Seattle and surrounding areas are perfect for my industry of work, but not so much for hers and requires more training on her behalf if she's able to move.

That's right pimp, fight the good fight....lol

I hear you. I know of one person living down there and on my few trips to Portland, I have been through there, but it freaks me out every time.

What's funny is that I'm probably closer to Vancouver BC than I am to Vancouver WA....lol
